Gloria Gonzales Huerta, 83, of Brighton Colorado, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family’s love and God’s grace on March 26, 2023, at 8:05 pm.

Gloria Huerta was born on March 15, 1940, to Jose Maria Gonzales and Aurora Garcia Gonzales in San Benito, Texas. Gloria came from humble beginnings, raised on a cotton farm with 14 siblings. She met her future husband, Obed Huerta, Sr., when he was out looking for eld workers and passed by the Gonzales farm. Seeing several blue jeans hung on a clothesline he asked Aurora to have all her sons ready for work the next morning. To his surprise, the most beautiful girl (and all her sisters) came out of the house ready to work. Together they made a life in Colorado where they raised 7 children.

Gloria dedicated her life to her family – she loved her children and grandchildren, and always put her family rst. She loved to sing e meeting begins at 9 a.m. April 18, at the Douglas County School District Legacy Campus, 10035 S. Peoria St., Lone Tree.

AURORA - e second of two decisionmaking meetings from the Colorado High School Activities Association’s legislative council gures to include a lot of talk about basketball, softball rosters and classi cation alignments.

Basketball e Continental League is proposing to allow class 6A teams (the schools with the highest enrollments) the chance to move playo games - starting in the quarter nal round - to the schools with the highest seed. e agenda said the current so-called “Great 8” schedule put too many games in the Coliseum over those three days. “ ese 24 games put CHSAA in di cult situations with schools and communities,” the council’s agenda said “With 6A opting out of the Coliseum games, it will open up time and space for games to be more appropriately scheduled.” ose in favor say it cuts down the number of morning and mid-day games on school days, and it means less time out of class for the athletes and students who are in attendance. It also would lead to a reduced workload for CHSAA in terms of event planning and hiring game workers. e down side, said the agenda, is schools needing to nd o -site locations if that’s necessary. e nancial impact could be good for

High-school basketball added an extra classi cation this season. It also meant stu ng three classi cations of state playo games into the Denver Coliseum over the span of two weeks last month. e result was 8:45 a.m. start times on some occasions and 9 p.m. nightcap games as well. Some games took place on school days.

If approved, the schools could play the games on Friday nights or Saturdays. Or, if the school doesn’t meet capacity requirements, they would have to choose and organize an o -site location.
